If you were offered the kind of physique that would let you win Mr Olympia, would you accept? Why or why not?

1. Sure, sounds like shit honestly but certainly better than my current situation

2. No. I am into bodybuilding and I know how much work goes into it. I don’t want to know the amount of precisely calculated training and nutrition planning it takes to maintain Mr. Olympia.
   Not to speak of all the gear you have to take.

3. As much as I love free shit. Probably not. That’s a little too jacked for me.

   Main reason is being able to move around without drawing attention. Being able to travel comfortably… Stuff like that.

4. Honestly kinda sounds like a pain. If I could magic up whatever build I wanted it would be more like a serious swimmer or maybe T&F athlete than a bodybuilder or powerlifter.

5. No, because the physique that lets you win a modern Mr. Olympia looks like dog shit. You’re a freak show, the aesthetics is horrid. You hardly look like a “greek god” unless there is a Greek God of buffoons, freaks and sideshow entertainers.

6. No thanks. Give me Fight Club era Brad Pitt’s physique please.

7. No. All those roids and screw up body? No thanks

8. Sure, why not. Dad bod to greek god with no effort at all.

9. Hell no

10. Nah, im ~~close~~ good enough without genie wishes

    I’m happy putting in the work to get the results I want

    Edit: just googled and those guys are gross

11. At this point, sure. Why not mix things up for the later part of my life?

12. In the present day? At some point in the past? At any point in the past, present, or future?

13. Nah, muscle giants look silly. If anything I’d prefer an athletic look.

14. No. I want a performative physique. Not an aesthetic one.

15. Nope, I much prefer being a big strong guy with a gut. I can eat what I want, do useful work with my body, and we powerlifters are expected to be big fat fucks anyway.

16. Nah, that’s just too much.

17. No, because wiping my own ass is just too convenient

18. No. If I didn’t earn it, it’s a daily reminder that I would be a fraud.

19. No, they just look crazy. Wouldn’t mind a better physique though.

20. No, I find that rather disgusting looking.

21. No, being that big just sounds awkward. Like walking around with a muscle suit on 24/7. And I’ve never heard of a woman who likes it either.

22. No. Those body builder muscle guys can literally tear muscles off the bone and they usually can’t touch their shoulders. I’d rather be an endurance athlete.

23. While I enjoy lifting, those guys look like freaks on stage and worse when they are wearing regular clothes.

    Juiced Thor is about as big as I would want to be.

24. No. Mr Olympia is too big for my preferences.

    Plus I like working out.

    Zyzz for days

25. Nah.

    Even if it was Classic Physique, which is far more aesthetic than the mass monsters, that’s still bigger than I personally want to be. I’ll keep grinding it out myself.

26. I’d prefer an elite male gymnast’s build.

27. Can i take IFBB bikini category? I accept- not a moment of doubt. Figure as well, why not. I used to be really strong, I miss it so much, If someone gave me healthy knees and some powerful muscles I would be delighted.

28. If we’re talking the Physique category, then sure.

29. Yes, because then you could compete, win, earn $$$, become an actor, become governor of california.

30. No, I’d be too heavy to climb well if I had a competitive bodybuilder’s physique. I’m guessing I’d lose the ability to do one finger pull ups.

31. Nope. That shit is damaging in the long run and I wouldn’t be able to keep the phisique

32. Maybe prime Frank Zane but nothing bigger. I like my current physique for the sport I do.

    Not having to maintain makes it a tough choice though

33. Initially I thought no; but then I remembered there are divisions in body building.

    Yeah I’ll take it, and I’ll take it in the shape of a Classic Physique Winner.

34. Mr olympia level physique in the 60’s/70’s yes. Now adays hell no

35. Absolutely. If I don’t have to work out or diet to maintain it, I can sit on the couch drinking beer and playing video games all year until the Olympia rolls around. That’s a million dollar check for winning the Olympia every year, plus what I’d make in endorsements and other events. Easy money

36. No, I would rather have an athletic body that is actually useful to me, than a physique that’s only made for bodybuilding.
